अध्याय ५

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

एऱ्हवीं विषयीं सुख आहे I हें बोलणेंचिसारिखें नोहे I तरी विद्युत्स्फुरणें कां न पाहे I जगामाजीं II 113 II
सांगें वात वर्ष आतपु धरे I ऐसे अभ्रच्छायाचि जरी सरे I तरी त्रिमाळिकें धवळारें I करावीं कां II 114 II
म्हणोनि विषयसुख जें बोलिजे I तें नेणतां गा वायां जल्पिजे I जैसें महूर कां म्हणिजे I विषकंदातें II 115 II
ना तरी भौमा नाम मंगळु I रोहिणीतें म्हणती जळु I तैसा सुखप्रवादु बरळु I विषयिकु हा II 116 II
हे असो आघवी बोली I सांग पां सर्पफणीची साउली I ते शीतल होईल केतुली I मूषकासी II 117 II
जैसा आमिषकवळु पाडवा I मीनु न सेवि तंवचि बरवा I तैसा विषयसंगु आघवा I निभ्रांत जाणें II 118 II

"Thinking that sense pleasures are the source of real happiness itself is futile. To believe that the sense pleasures can give us real contentment of fulfillment will be as futile as carrying out worldly affairs in a flash of lightening or finding the building of big mansions unnecessary because the canopy of clouds is enough to protect from the wind, sun and rains. And therefore deriving happiness from the sense pleasures itself is meaningless. The sense pleasures and fulfilment do not go together just like; There is an onion known by the name (madhur) or sweet while we all know that an onion has a peculiar sharp pungent flavour. The planet Bhoum is known to bring challenges and negative influences, yet it is called Mangal or auspicious. The mirage, an optical illusion appears as a shimmering pool of water. Would a rat ever feel safe in the shadow cast by snake's head? The bait at the end of a fishing rod is tempting to the fish only till it swallows the bait. Similar is the lure of the senses said Lord Krishna to Arjun."
